Hi Thuy and Keith, I'm still using Tiger, and I realize that most of you are using Leopard, so I didn't try to post until waiting to see whether Keith would get a better answer elsewhere.

What happens if you turn VoiceOver off, do an option-click at the link, and then turn VoiceOver on again? Does the file download? Another thing that should work even if the VoiceOver sequences are messed up is to go to the web page where the mp3 is playing and use the Safari File menu. That's VO-keys+M to the menu bar, type "F" for the File Menu or VO-keys +right arrow to this entry. VO-keys +downarrow and type "S" for "Save As". You should be prompted for a name to save the mp3 file that is playing. >Even the tip to bring up the url doesnt work >either.

OK, I assume that this was my suggestion to go to: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=78111172 and just get the episode from the iTunes Store. Can't you even get the episodes through iTunes? I would assume that if you subscribed, then interacted and selected Podcasts in the Sources Outline, tabbed to the Songs Outline and interacted with the folder for the new podcast (which you open with VO-keys+backslash) that you could use the contextual menu to "Update Podcast" and see the feed entries for the other episodes. Then you could get individual older episodes that you hadn't downloaded. Very weird behavior.
